It's alive!

Small update. I just wanted to show y'all this little pixel FrankenHooker I did today out of boredom. I'm off hunting rattlesnakes & chopping down trees with my chainsaw for the weekend. Have a good one!

Insect Activities

I've been practicing on my animation lately, but I'm quite disappointed in the results. I always thought I had a good eye for animation, but when it comes for me to actually work on movement, my brain turns into jelly and I can't think! Here's one of the first exercises I made:

As you can see, this little fella here looks like he's falling back & the loop is kinda wonky. I had to emergency-call my good ol' pal Marco to get a little help. He found the issue right away. I was starting my walk cycle with a standing position. Tired & a little bummed out, I decided to give it a rest... until today!

Before I started, I did a little research. I read a couple of animation tutorials & worked on their keyframing. This is what resulted of my more studied attempt at animating:

Yep, still a wonky animation, but at least now it's a little bit smoother... except for that weird humping my cockroach warrior does every time the loop restarts. Anyway, feedback is always welcome. Keep on truckin', y'all!

PS. Just because I made you watch my lame animation attempts, here's a cutesy little snake lady I made last week...

Pixelized!

I'm glad to say I finally got a decent assignment at work. I'm currently helping the game department with the art of one of the games & I got a green light to make it 8 bit style. I can't post much until the game is released, but here's a small treat... Greetings, y'all.

New Year's Project

It's 2011, time for new art projects I'll probably won't finish. Yesterday, while admiring my improvised pijamas, I decided to make a daily doodle of my outfits throughout 2011. I won't be posting daily, though. I'll just wait to have a bunch of them and post whenever. This is me in the first three days of the year...

PS. I have no idea why the thumb's showing a crazy green on Jan1st's. Fuck you, digital media.

NOTE: This project will be updated daily here.
